It really is the end of era. Not just for Rogers, but video stores in general.

I jokingly picked the Ides of March (March 15th) of this year as the end for Rogers Video, but it might not have been such a bad guess. Several online posters have echoed the comments mentioned within the link below.

The Ides of April?

I say turn 'em all into Strip Clubs.

Eject this:

Rogers Video is closing:

In December, the company announced it was shuttering 40 per cent of its video shops as it continued to move away from selling and renting physical copies of DVDs, Blu-rays and video games.

“It's a declining marketplace, all we're doing is meeting market need,” Sian Doyle, Rogers's vice president of retail, said at the time, and added that the disappearance of more than 400 Blockbuster stores last year did little to boost its rental business.

Yes the rental days for Rogers is over......went to the Rogers in Brampton today to rent movies and for sale only no rentals......I feel sorry for those parents with kids where are they going to rent their video games for their xboxes and ps3 and wii now.....

Rather than having two threads active with a bunch of duplicate posts and since it's confirmed that Rogers is closing, I'm closing this thread and leaving the following open.
